' JAMES F. cRnELio r' arniacnrcona, ston ng Y I Beithnown that 1,;Jaa1nsQueen, a citizen of the United States, residing at Apalachicola, in thecounty of Franklin and State of Florida, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Glasses for Measuring Turpentine to be Distilledfrom Gum, of which the following is a specification, reference being hadto the accompanying drawings. I

This invention relates to an improved measuring glass for. measuring orchecking up the amount of turpentine to be distilled from each charge ofgum in a still. In other words to provide a glass, by which the dis?tiller may distill the gum by the rule of the measurements on the glass.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improved measuring glassconstructed in accordance with the invention;and

Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view through the same. 7

Referring to the drawings, 1 designates a measuring glass as a whole,having a suitable handle 2. glass is graduated as shown at 2*, and isprovided with a water line 8, upward from which the scale of graduationsis read.- Extending from certain of the graduations above the water linepartially around the side of the glass are extension lines 4, 5* and 6,indlcatmg the fact that there are five' to ten gallons of spirits ofturpentine in certain charges of gum. Adjacent these lines 4t, 5 and 6there are indications relating to the process of measuring spirits ofturpentine relatively to a requisite amount of gum. These indicationsare engraved, etched or otherwise applied on the glass.

When distilling, the gum is placed in the still which is then closed,and as is Well known the gum contains a certain amount of water, whichis distilled. out, by applying heat to the still. The water and spiritsof turpentine will thenilow at the same time from the worm, and-whilethe gum is being distilled the water will decrease and the spirits ofturpentine will increase. As this process is carried out the measuringglass is used to take samples from the worm at intervals, and when oneof these samples shows the spirits of turpentine opposite the waterline, the water being at the bottom, the glass may be filled, half waterand half turpentine. v

i plvater :iSjthQIi turned on throughv the.

funnehfll'otshownl-into thekettle of gum, -wh ch' Wi hen..fl0w a: better.streamof spirits of t rpenti e and water, and then the water increasesand the spirits of turpentine'decreases until all 'thespirits ofturpentine is out of the gum, then the. glass will be full of water,witha a of an inch of spirits of turpentine floating on the top I of thewater in the glass at the turn outline,

and unless an. the spirits of turpentine is procured from the gum downto the *2; of aninch of :the turn outline, it will not be possible tosecure 11%- gallons of spirits of turpentine out of one barrel of gumweigh- 7 ing 500 pounds.

The main feature-of the glass is to enable the distillers to operatestills by the scale of measurements on the glass, and by put-' ting thewater in at the right time, and when the water and spirits divide at thewater line, the gum is distilled down to g of an inch above the turnoutline, which -would give the full amount of spirits of turpentine inthe gum.

It is to be noted that a kept running in the still'from thetime thespirits of turpentine and water divide at the water line, until theturpentine is distilled ofi'at the turn outline. A i i stream of water.is V Also note that water is not first placed I in the glass, but isreceived in the glass from the worm, while thestill is operated. A.

one-half inch line will show to the distiller how many gallons to beprocured out of the .l

gum, while the one-quarter inch line will show the amount of splrits ofturpent ne remainlng 1n the gum.- The lIlCll'lSUI'Il outline willindicate to the distiller that all the spirits of turpentine possible tobe distilled from the gum, has been obtained."

As previously stated the main feature of the invention is that thedistillerv can operate the still by the scale of measurements upon theglass,- by turning onthe water at the right time and when the water andspirits of turpentine are divided at the water line and the gum. may bedistilled, until the spirits of turpentine will float upon the water atthe g inch turn outline.

The invention having beenset forth, what is claimed as new and usefulis:

'1. A turpentine measuring glass, comprising, acylindrical-hollow bodyand provided with uniform inside and outside diameters and having a wallof uniform thickness throughout its entirety, said body having on itsexterior a ater line substantially midway the height of the glass, aseries of graduations on the side of the glass starting from a pointadjacent the Water line and ending at a point near the top edge of theglass, said graduations having extension lines for. measuring the amountof spirits of turpentine.

2; As an article of manufacture, a turpentine measuring glass comprisinga cylindrical hollow body of uniform inside and outside diameters, theexterior surface of the glass having a Water line substantially midwaythe height of the glass, a portion of the exterior periphery of theglass being graduated upwardly from the Water line,
